This is another Pond we fished...a little honey hole as we call it behind the big one...caught some in there too....

Got up early this morning right at 4am to go out on a fishing trip with a friend of mine at a Conservation pond which was a big one, more like a lake...this one is about 50 years old and is known to have some big fish. We started off in a boat and the water was calm and nature was still sleeping, it was very nice. Was nothing like the sound of the first cast on glassy waters and you could see the fish hitting top water looking for their morning meal. First one I caught was out of the neck of the pond only minutes after we started our adventure. Later on while fishing and after a few fish, I reached down to grab another rod and there it was staring at me...A Black Widow Spider...lol....Now, this was my first time fishing with a Black Widow Spider and quite frankly I was a little nervous, was lucky my butt didn't go in the water...lol...I was trying to take a picture the bottom side to show the hour glass but I was a little shaky, jumpy and took the shot anyways...That second picture of it was a closter image...We started checking for others, cause there always a second one or two or three...I look back at my buddy and he had one under the seat..Needless to say both Spiders took a swim, they weren't catching anything anyways...lololol....I ended up catching some where around 15 to 20 this morning, the biggest one weighed in about 3lbs and lost a big one. We did some bank fishing and then went back out on the boat for a few minutes and back into shore. We finished up the trip fishing a little honey hole behind the Big Pond catching a few before we headed home. It felt good to get out and to have such a good fishing trip. My arms and back were hurting from all the fish..lol...I wanted to make this one a good one for all of my friends and to share the experience with you..I hope all of you enjoy and had a good weekend... :)
